Igbos need to stop this nonsense.

This whole idea of going to another man’s land and declaring yourself a king is just not on.

Why antagonise your hosts?

This is not Igbo tradition.

The controversial Igbo king who has been living in Ghana for over 20 years and is married to a Ghanaian woman made headlines recently after buying plots of land to build a hospital and Igbo village in Ghana.

Rumors claimed he went into hiding after the news spread, but he’s now back in public — seen confidently strolling the streets of Ghana to loud cheers and celebration from his Ghanian admirers.

Ghanaian Troup out in Large numbers to celebrate Africa's most famous king ( Eze-Ndigbo na Ghana) as passed through the streets of Accra Ghana to honor an invitation for a cultural event in Ghana .

The video in the post captures a cultural event in Ghana, specifically the Homowo Festival in Nungua, where Dr. Chukwudi Ihenetu, known as the "Eze Ndigbo na Ghana" (King of the Igbo community in Ghana), is seen participating. This event highlights the integration and recognition of the Igbo community within Ghanaian society, despite recent controversies regarding his title and role.

The backdrop of this event includes a recent statement from the Ga Traditional Council disassociating itself from Dr. Ihenetu's activities, indicating a lack of formal recognition of his kingship within the Ghana State.

This tension underscores broader issues of cultural integration and the legal frameworks governing traditional leadership in Ghana.
Dr. Ihenetu's presence and the positive reception by Ghanaians, as depicted in the video, contrast with online narratives, particularly from some Nigerian groups, who have spread misinformation about his status.

This situation reflects the complexities of diaspora communities maintaining cultural identities while navigating host country dynamics, and the role of social media in shaping public perception

richiemcgold:
They should let him be. That's just my opinion. Na dem dey develop Ghana and the whole of West Africa

AdolfHitlerxXx:
These guys never get tired of development or being mercilessly disciplined.

What trouble?
The man has committed no crime.

The man in question never declared himself a ruler or king over Ghanaians — he's simply the leader of the Igbo community in Ghana.
His title "Eze Ndi Igbo" literally translates to "King of the Igbos in Ghana or leader of Igbos " similar to how other ethnic groups have their own community heads, like Sarkin Fulani...King of Fulanis
What exactly is the problem here?
The man even built a school in Ghana

It is clear what his title is it is just that if they don't resound it sooner than later he cabegin to drag territory with the real owners of the land. Why not stay in igboland and claim anything or do as you like.

Hope we can allow this kind of thing on the Streets of Owerri, Enugu, Aba or anywhere else in Igbo land?

Hmmmmmmm. Don't give what you cannot take or cook what you cannot taste.

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The Ghanians have no problem with this man.

Only yoruba people are spreading fake news and lies against Ndigbo in Ghana

GorillaApp:
Try ask around before you hurt yourself.
He never said he was King in Ghana. He is simply the leader of igbo people in Ghana, not leader or king of Ghanians.
Even Fulanis have their sarkins and so do a host of other tribes. They .may not be as flamboyant as the Igbos but it's all the same. The hatred for Igbos in this country is alarming! People no go fit enjoy Their lives again?!

Globad:
Continue to push him. Hope you will stand by this when the trouble starts

Image123:
Are you aware that the man was arrested and may be deported?

ComeToJesus:
I don't know why they always want their own king in another King's domain.

That's treasonous in some way..

FILEBE:
Arrested for what exactly? If the igbos chose him as thier representative in Ghana, what's the problem with that? Idi araba in Lagos does have an Hausa/ Fulani reprentative.

see this tribalism Nigeria just newly discovered will end us all if care isn't taken to stop it
